Direct sunlight on windows causes the glass to heat up, hence warming the air inside your home. External awnings have UV protection that prevents the sunlight from hitting the glass. At Ballarat Blinds & Curtains, with our range of external blinds and awnings, we can find the right design to suit your home.
Zipscreen track blinds are a great solution for any outdoor area. Warm in winter and cool in summer, they feature tracks on both sides of the blind which guide the fabric up and down and can be stopped at any height. Great for alfresco areas.
Auto awnings are one of the most common designs. They operate on a guide rod, allowing the blind to be easily adjusted. They come in canvas or screen fabric with a great range of traditional stripes and contemporary colours. You can also choose from a range of Colorbond colours.
The simplicity of a crank handle makes it an affordable yet effective solution to your outdoor area. You can add extra stopping heights to maximise the function of your awning. The lock down latch system allows the blind to be locked down to increase your privacy and will assist with minimising the sun and wind.
